How South Africans reacted to the #StateCapture judgement against Zuma

This Zuma judgment is arguably the most severe against the President yet. Will we now finally see that State Capture inquiry?

It’s been a disastrous week for President Jacob Zuma. To make things worse, the week might get even more disappointing for Zuma after this weekend’s National Elective Conference. Wednesday’s ruling on Zuma’s quest to dodge a State Capture inquiry has led to celebration online. As usual, we take a look at some of the best Tweets.

Jacob Zuma has been left battered and bruised by the Pretoria High Court this morning, after Judge Mlambo ruled he cannot choose the official who will lead the state capture inquiry against him.

The sweet sounds of justice that have so often been suppressed were free to echo around the Gauteng courthouse on Wednesday morning. Zuma had already been told he must personally pay the legal fees for his appeals against releasing Thuli Madonsela’s state of capture report. Now, he’s got a double-whammy.
